Program/Department Advisers

Sequence for students planning graduate work toward a Ph.D. degree in physics or astronomy.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Department requirements (66 credits)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To enroll in advanced physics courses, students must earn a grade of C or higher in the physics and mathematics prerequisites of the courses, unless they are excused from this requirement by the chairperson. A student who receives a grade of C- or lower in a required physics or mathematics course must consult the chairperson before registering for another physics course. The student is usually advised to repeat the course.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Additional requirements for a B.S. degree
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Candidates for a B.S. degree with a major in physics must complete at least 60 credits in science and mathematics; 24 of these 60 credits must be completed in advanced courses in the Physics Department. These 24 credits must be completed at Brooklyn College with a grade of C or higher in each course.
